Is there any way of testing how much streamed content reflects as P2P? This could potentially make or break home basic uncapped accounts if clients are under the impression its all going through normal streaming.

That is taken from your Company website, under the Product page for Home Uncapped Basic. I dont know what kind of game you are trying to play here, but can you not see that this description is somewhat misleading?
You are telling people reading it that after-hours is unshaped (mostly, network usage might shift that to shaped, fair enough.) What are people going to do after-hours? Sit and watch Streaming TV at 3am in the morning? Most probably not, they are going to schedule downloads of course.
Add this to the fact that you got a product that you claim is managed by IS, which carries the star rating system, which we all know for a fact is NOT impacted from 00h01 to 05h59 (on the same safe).
No wonder you have people coming on here and blowing a gasket, and quite honestly I dont blame them. If you want people to stop moaning about downloading on your Home Uncapped Basic then the answer is quite simply really,
Fix your product page descriptions. They are grossly misleading.

Please, misinformation is the new information.
Depends on the source, some plugin sources use p2p.
I use the Project FreeTV plugin and the sources are mostly fileshare sites like 180upload, tusfiles, hugefiles etc
No issues with that plugin except sometimes you will have to keep trying a different stream source as some are taken down, probably because of DCMA takedowns.
I don't know how to check if the source is p2p but if you install popcorntime, be prepared to be shaped, HARD on Home Basic Uncapped.
I just kicked off a torrent and I'm getting about between 200-250, so roughly half line speed.
By my guess I could probably stream between 360p and 480p without buffer at that rate.
I'm on 4mbps Home Premium, current usage is around 130gigs.

We truly believe that our Advertising and Product Descriptions/FAQ page is one of the most, if not the most transparent in the current market.
As discussed already, The profiles for Home Uncapped Basic are not performing as expected during 12am - 6am with certain download protocols, Our management team are currently addressing this however, so stay tuned for that.
Sadly Cartoon HD has gone down the crapper, I havent even tried that plugin in a very long time
IceFilms still rocks though, easy to navigate and the MovReel links always fly for me

Any news regarding the torrent query I posted again yesterday? Even overnight, on heavily seeded torrents, I can only download about 2GB, where it should be at least double that. I didn't have this issue before I moved to CW.
@Crystalweb thought it was to do with concurrent connections 2 Fridays ago, so we agreed to remove that, but it was still the same all weekend, slowing to a crawl.

Techhead, exactly my point of view.. I'm glad im not the only one. Encouraging to see people stand up for whats right and whats wrong. Don't go and tell people on your website that after hours its unshaped and it doesn't effect your star rating.. but then come on here and tell your clients things like it's "mostly unshaped". If its "mostly" unshaped then change your wording and stop misguiding the public!! Secondly you(CW) refer to high usage, but then you state on your site that the download period doesn't count towards star rating in which most bandwith will be consumed.. Man oh man.. You can fool some people but there's enough people to catch the dirty tricks and lies which is beneath the surface

right so I get home after a business trip to Gauteng and my bloody Internet isn't working
call up support and get told to fix my own connection, schmuck on the other end does a troubleshooting routine and says he can't help me when I reveal that of course my router is off there is no electricity.
I mean really my internets must always work.

Solid speeds yet again todaywell done CW.
Just need destiny latency sorted then all is good.
I assume destiny in this instance is a game rather than "companion" ...
lol... were you testing the patience of support? hope they didn't know it was you
nah I call the MD directly
Was wondering if he would tell me to take my computer back to the store: http://www.generationterrorists.com/quotes/misc/wordperfect_helpline.html

Unfortunately however some of the suggestions of material being "misleading" appears to involve people using terminology in a way not used in the industry - in particular what shaping entails/
